able ard generous rellow, VINO meant
at all events to keep his word; also
that he had-in spite of his notions
and preiudices- tender and affee-
Tomato regard for the little nurse to
whose care he owed no less than his
life.
A large garden ran all around Mrs.
Hopkins cottage. 1t was May. The
season was early, and the trees We're
of n delicate green.
Hugh Melville stood just outside the
gate, concealed by the trunk of large
tree, watching the house.
Miriam was in the garden, busy
with the dower-borders. and the voice
of Agnes could be heard in the parlor,
practicing at the piano new song
An at once his heart gave a leap and
a great thrill He had heard Polly
speaking inside.
The simplest words:
Della! Cousin Della, where are
you9 Do take the wateriug-can out to
Miriam, please. I'm so busy
He smiled inyoluntarily with pleas
ure at the sound, and then sighed.
Dear little Pol,y~ he thought;
why couldn'ta pretty face belong to
that soft, sweet yoice?'
Next moment Il face Id never
seen appeared at the house-door, and
3 charming girl ran out with the wa
tering-can--a girl with rich dark au-
burn hair and soft gray eyes. She had
not beautiful face, by any means.
The sensitive mouth was rather large,
aud the expressive features were II
regular, but she had the great charm
of animated expression, bright com
plexion, and fine teeth and hair and
eyes, as well as a graceful figure.
That's Della" he thought They
are all pretty but Polly. All, well, I'll
ask for her.
And he Herewith opened the gate,
and entered the garden.
The girl turned at the sound. There
was a cry of Joy the watering-can fell
from Delia's hand and she bounded
down the path to greet him.
He started back in surprise.
"Oh, Hughw cried the soft sweet
voice he knew so well. Don't YOU
know me, Hugh? I'm Polly-Polly
Hopkins"
Next minute he had clasped her in
his arms.
II couldn't find Della, and so |
brought out the can myself" she eX-
planned, when he told her of his mis-
take; land forgot that you couldn't
know me, having never seen me be-
fore. All, perhaps you win not love
me now-now that you can see
me -'
He stopped her with a kiss.
Dearest and best of girls My
heart thrilled Just now at the sound OF
your voice, even though | believed
you were quite frightful loved you
truly while You were still the Ugly
Duck Is ii likely shall change tc

1t has Just occurred to Most, the aasr-
chist, to get certificate OF naturalization
and become a citizen ofthe country whose
institutions he desires to overthrow
Happily the New York official to whom
Most applied for certificate took a seri-
Gus view Of his duties, and declined to
issue him q certificate on the ground that
he would not undertake to obey the laws.
Ia reply to question, Most said he
would obey the laws passed by the proper
authorities, "if they were good laws" II
they were bad he would resist them BY
force. He himself was to be the judge in
each case of the quality of the law. This
meant, practically, that he intended to do
as he pleased. 1t is inconsistent with
Most's principles to confirm to the laws to
the extent of asking for naturalization
papers, but Most explains that anarchists
are becoming naturalized now in great
numbers with a view of making their in
fuence felt in the next elections. This
being the case, it becomes the duty of
officials everywhere to scan with some
care the qualifications of foreign agitators
who apply for privilege of voting. 1t is
obvious that persons who do not accept
our constitution, and do not design to
live peacefully under it lack the first re-
quisite of citizenship.

The international Medical Congress
which has just closed its session in Wash
ington. was an event OF great moment to
the medical profession. and incidentally
will have a decided influence upon the
treatment OF disease throughout the world.
The delegates present represented the
brains OF the profession, and the papers
presented in the various sections all bore
the impress of diligent research, careful
study, and long experience in practice
This congress afforded medical men of
every nationality an opportunity of meet
ing and of interchanging their views upon
every branch connected with the profes.
sion, and the benefit derived from the mar
rations of peculiar cases and treatments
cannot be justly estimated. 1t is the gen.
eral opinion of the delegates who have at
tended foreign congresses that the one just
closed has been Of greater importance and
will be more far reaching in its results
than any that has hitherto taken place.

The tariff plank Of the platform adopt
ed by the Democrats of Iowa, in the larg-
est convention ever held by them in the
history Of tie State, is so strong and en-
yielding of Mr.. Randall to to the reform
sentiment in the Pennsylvania Democratic
convention the other day. and the decided
language of the Ohio Democratic tariff
plank, it may be said to presage agree
ment oithe party upon fiscal policy,whicb
Congress may be expected to carry into
effect at its next session. The Ohio con-
vention, it will be recalled, pronounced
fatty against Mr.. Randall's scheme for
the abolition Of the internal tax on whisk y
and beer, and called for "a judicious re-
duciion of the present burdeusome tariff. y
The Pennsylvania convention called for "a
wise and prudent reduction of internal
taxation and of duties on imports not
for "the entire abolition of internal taxes. y
nor for revision" without reduction of
the tariff duties, as it formerly did, when
fully under Mr.. Randsll's control. The
Iowa convention is even more explicit

tion for the purpose of continuing the

Mr.. ThObe'S Contest.

The revival of the contest of Nj. .Carlisle's
seat in the FiftIeth Congress by Mr.. Thobe
who was his opponent at the last cleo
tion, is quite a surprise to the majority
of people who were led to believe that the
contest of Mr.. Carlisles seat had been
virtually abandoned. 1t was stated short
ly after the election that a careful recan-
vass of the votes had been made, and
the results showed that Mr.. Carlisle had
undoubtedly received a majority in his
district, and had secured an electios.-
Even Mr.. ThoLe himse + seemed to ac-
quiesce ia this decision, and no evidence
in support of his claim to the seat was
filed with the House of Re presentatives
until few days ago. There can be no
question as to which of the two is the
better legislator, or will better represent
the Kentucky district. Mr.. Carlisle has
had long experience in public life, and
is a man of signal force and ability. 1t
would be unfortunate for his party, for
the country, in fact, and for himself, if by
any technicality he should be deprived of
seat in the Fiftieth Congress. 1t is un-
derstcod that Mr.. Thobe will claim that
as he represents the laboring interests
in his district, refusal on the part
of the House committee on eIec-
lions, or on the part OF the Hsuse itself,
to recognize his claims will be to positive
ly ignore the Labor party. 1t is not east
ly seen how he can take this stand. The
district in which he claims an election
must stand by itself, and without reference
to any other district either in the state OF
Kentucky or the country. consequently,
the laboring men OF his district are . body
of themselves, aud if it shall be shown
that they failed to poll sufficient num-
Der of votes to elect their candidate, it
can certainly have no effect upon the
laboring people in any other locality. The
attempt to make . labor question out OF
Mr. Thobe's contest should certainly fail.
It is. however, to be hoped that Mr..
Carlisle will not only be seated by the
Fiitieth Congress, but that he will be re-
elected Speaker.

Joining the Popular Side.

it could not control him, began TO adverse

and his administration into disrepute. Mr.
Cleveland needed not the World. but dis
charged his duties faithfully and con-
scientiously. His mistakes have been few
and unimportaut, aud his honest efforts
have won the applause of the great body
of the people. Sc well has be succeeded
in making public office public trust; in

The Knickerbocker colored Republican
Relief Association, Baltimore, recently au-
thorized the president, DR.. G. F. Chinn, to
draw up an address to the colored Repub-
licans of the 10th ward and thiId legisa-
tive district. The address has been pre-
pared accordingly and is as follows: "As
we do know and sincerely acknowledge
and thank the Republican party Tor the
favor and assistance which they rendered
our parents in days past and gone, and
which we have long since repaid, there
fore we claim that we are in no way in
debted to white Republicans for past ia
vors. And as they seem to think that we
are compelled to support and vote each
and every ticket they chose to impose on
Us, whether it be benefit or an injury to
us, without consulting qs, as if we were
not part and parcel of the Republican
party, we deem it our duty to organize
and rule ourselves politically, and not to
be used as tools by the bosses or our So
called 'supervisors.' As this is progress

cur desire to have our children progress
with the times, and We must admit it is
impossible to be up with the times with
out an academical as we'll as mechanical
education; and We have not, as yet, the
proper facilities for these two great wants.
Besides these, there are several other oc-
cupations which should be divided be-
tween the colored vote which belongs to
the political kingdom, such as market
house cleaning, street-cleaning, garbage
cart driving, public lamp lighting, etc,
and above all, colored teachers ia our
public schools. We have therefore con-
cluded to nominate and try to elect pro-
per men of our own race for the city ceun-
Gil and legislature, that they may give our
wants and cares their proper attention,
which has not been done for as heretofore.
With the strong vote we possess we are
entitled to more privileges politically
than we have yet received. We only ask
you to vote with US, and the time will not
be long before our children will be enjoy
ing more and better privileges than We in
this age can ever expect to enjoy"
